On the subject of rolling pins. I bought the below at a second hand store today. An old pair of "carders" (not sure of the english term) in good condition and (what I think is) some type of metal rolling pin with spikes. Looks a bit medieval, but could work for felting thick layers of wool? :-) (null) by -TuulikkiR-

Zara, the pic isn't showing. Maybe it's just me.

It does sort of look like a torture device And yes, they are called carders in English.

Yes carders. I wonder if the other is for picking the fibers. Rolling it over the fleece would open and fluff up the wool before carding. I will steel you picture and see if any of my guild friend know what it is.

I will steel you picture and see if any of my guild friend know what it is. The second hand store I bought it in has all sorts of stuff, and I found this among the kitchen utensils. I think it has been used for pricking bread, such as the traditional hard bread (knäckebröd) we have here. Hope I will be able to insert another photo below, with the bread in question. :-) by -TuulikkiR-

Zara, I would never have guessed that tool was a "bread pricker," mostly because we do not have an equivalent in the States (to my knowledge). Here are photos of my Lefske roller pin--which I absolutely love--and the wooden foot massager I also use for felting. But here's something interesting: The roller pin weighs 11 pounds and the foot massager only 11 ounces! Quite a difference. feltingandfiberstudio.files.wordpress.com/2016/09/ogenhwp9j0ty8zfij26b.jpg

Zara, that's really cool. It reminds me of the texture of Rye Krisp or Wasa bread we have here.
Cathy, I ordered a lefse roller from Amazon. I'm looking forward to trying it out. I hope it's not 11 pounds!

Thanks anyway but in the end it would probably be the same.

Must be a regional thing. I frequent the thrift stores in our small city in middle America, and have never seen any of these things. We are surrounded by farm communities.

I like knäckebröd, and polar bread and that dark brown bread that tastes malty
